Re: Our 70th Reunion, etc.
In the last issue of California Magazine, we promised a report on the
reunion, so here it is. It was a fine event, hosted by Chancellor Carol Christ
in the beautiful University House. The Chancellor greeted everyone on
arrival, joined us for lunch, and gave a wonderful talk. She recalled some of
the major events of 1952 and then provided an update on campus events
and activities. Your co-secretaries spoke briefly and everyone was invited
to introduce themselves and make a statement. There were 42 attendees
seated at tables for 9 or 10, and a member of Rally Committee sat at each
table. Cal band members came by to serenade us and we all joined in
singing All Hail. Our class banner was prominently displayed, and the 70th
reunion was a grand success. Chancellor Christ bade us farewell as we
departed so each of us was able to express our gratitude personally. Fiat
Lux-Let there be light-forever.
Class Notes will be online in the future and alumni are invited to submit
letters directly. Details are in the magazine and we will continue to write a
column online in order to keep in touch with all of you. Cheers to our Alma
Mater!
